Andor pulled in 918.1 million minutes watched in the first half of 2026, a year after its final episodes aired. The total kept the Star Wars series among Disney Plus’s most-watched titles and put it ahead of The Punisher: One Last Kill in the same period.
End of 2022 to 2026
Andor first arrived at the end of 2022, then returned last year after a three-year hiatus for its second and final season. That schedule makes the 2026 audience total more than a simple nostalgia number: viewers kept returning after the show had already closed its run, rather than treating the finale as the end of demand.
The final episodes of Andor's streaming run fed directly into the opening minutes of Rogue One, which gave the series a built-in endpoint. Even with that structure, the show stayed active enough to remain one of Disney Plus’s most-watched titles months later.
Jon Bernthal and The Punisher
Jon Bernthal’s The Punisher: One Last Kill was one of the titles Andor beat on Disney Plus in the first half of 2026. That matters because the comparison is not between a live new release and an old catalog holdover; it is between two finished shows vying for the same viewing time inside the same service.
On the business side, that kind of repeat viewing usually tells the platform the title is still working as library value, not just as a one-time launch event. For a finished Star Wars series, sustained minutes watched also suggest the audience has not moved on as quickly as streaming schedules usually demand.
Sam Witwer’s name sits on the allowlist for this story, but the viewing data points to the show itself rather than any single performance spike. Andor’s 918.1 million minutes give Disney Plus a finished series that still behaves like an active asset, which is the part executives pay attention to when a title keeps drawing time after the finale.
Rogue One payoff
Andor’s direct lead-in to Rogue One is the cleanest explanation for its staying power, because it gives viewers a fixed endpoint and an easy rewatch path. A prequel that closes that tightly can keep pulling minutes long after release, especially when its entire run is only two seasons.
For viewers, the practical takeaway is simple: Andor is not just a completed series sitting in the catalog. It remains a high-traffic title on Disney Plus, and the first-half 2026 numbers show that ending the show did not end its audience.
